DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers today announced the club will not tender a contract to righthanded pitcher Zach Miner for the 2011 season.

Miner missed the entire 2010 season after landing on the disabled list with right elbow tendinitis and he was forced to undergo right elbow reconstruction surgery on May 28, a procedure performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum in California.

In four seasons at the major league level with the Tigers, Miner has compiled a 25-20 record and 4.24 ERA (357.0IP/168ER) in 157 appearances (35 starts).

Miner’s contract had been designated for assignment by the Tigers on November 29.
